Classifying
Quantum Field Theories

Quantum Field Theories underlie our most basic understanding of nature 
and its diverse phenomena. An interesting question about them is: can 
they all be classified? With the help of string theory and geometric 
engineering of quantum field theories, this classification problem can 
be studied, at least, for supersymmetric quantum field theories. In this 
talk, I will discuss what it means to classify quantum field theories 
and review the various strategies that exploit classifying structures 
for geometries.

Ibou Bahis an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University working on 
various topics in the intersection of string theory, holography and 
quantum field theory. His general research interest is in theoretical 
high-energy physics and cosmology, exploring the relations between 
quantum field theories, string theory and gravity via the framework of 
holography. He is also interested in fundamental aspects of black holes 
and their role in nature. His research work is part of a larger research 
program in high-energy physics whose main goal is to understand a 
quantum theory of gravity.

Ibou grew up in Senegal and immigrated to the US, living in New York 
City, when he was 13. He completed his undergraduate studies in Physics 
and Mathematics at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, and his graduate 
studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, under the supervision 
of Leopoldo Pando Zayas in 2012. Ibou then joined the string theory 
groups at the Institut de Physique Théorique at Saclay , France, and at 
the University of Southern California for a joint postdoc. He started 
his second postdoc in 2015 with Ken Intriligator at UCSD as a UC 
president’s postdoctoral fellow. In January 2017, he joined the Physics 
and Astronomy Department at Johns Hopkins University as a junior faculty.

Introducer and Co-host: Henriette Elvang, University of Michigan

Join the colloquium next Tuesday, August 4 for "The Brave New World" with
Andre de Gouvea, Northwestern University

We host public lectures on Thursdays at 5:30 pm Aspen time (11:30 pm UTC).
This week, Aharon Kapitulnik, Stanford University, will speak on
"Time Reversal Symmetry and Unconventional Superconductors"

This summer, our colloquia and lectures were added to our YouTube 
channel, AspenPhysics. Descriptions of both are also on our website:
